[PATCH v2 3/5] media: uvcvideo: Relax the constrains for interpolating the hw clock

[Ricardo Ribalda]

In the initial version we set the min value to 250msec. Looks like
100msec can also provide a good value.

Now that we are at it, add a macro to make it cleaner.

Fixes: 6243c83be6ee8 ("media: uvcvideo: Allow hw clock updates with buffers not full")
